The DOM Working Group expects to request that the Director
advance this specification to Proposed Recommendation after the DOM
Working Group documents two interoperable implementations of at
least one normative binding. The two implementations must be
produced by different organizations. The new review period ends on
16 October 2002. Please send review comments before the review
period ends to www-dom@w3.org
(archive).

Publication as a Candidate Recommendation does not imply
endorsement by the W3C Membership. This is a draft document and may
be updated, replaced or obsoleted by other documents at any time.
It is inappropriate to cite this document as other than "work in
progress."

Some changes from DOM Level 1 HTML are incompatible with that
specification but represent more accurately the state of deployed
software. Therefore, this specification renders the DOM Level 1
HTML Recommendation obsolete. W3C strongly suggests that developers
and authors conform to DOM Level 2 HTML instead.
